Seven weeks after an orbital mining platform stops transmitting, the first thing a containment team hears is the rattle of human teeth.
Their orders are: retrieve a strange object from the assay bay and leave the dead to the company chaplain. For the breach specialist sent in first, the payout is worth three years of ordinary wages. Then something built from welded human bones rolls out of the dark, and the team discovers that the missing miners have not finished working.
Whatever came up from the planet's deep bore has turned the station's steel into a pathway to living bodies. Powered suits draw its creations. Conductive water can make a person's limbs move against their will. Every workaround buys the survivors a little more time, and every hour brings the influence closer.
To escape, they must find a way to restrain the object long enough to move it. But the company only pays in full for a completed retrieval, and the one thing nobody aboard the platform can trust is their own hands.
